Letter: Giving tree group says tree

The members of the Three Rivers Community Giving Tree send our heartfelt thanks to all who made Christmas special for the children and senior citizens of our neighborhoods. In addition to the ornaments on our trees, the generosity of our community was felt through a variety of donations this year.

We are happy to announce that with your support we served 198 families, including 27 senior citizens, received more than 1,400 gifts, totaling nearly $50,000. In addition to clothing, toys and personal items, many bikes were collected, repaired and gifted. Isabella and Grace Wentz conducted their annual sock drive, making sure each family had warm toes this year! You will see more yellow and black around the community thanks to a generous donation of spirit wear from the Terry Williams Memorial Fund. We also distributed 115 gently used coats collected by Lisa Coleman, and 98 pairs of new shoes to needy children.

Our success would be impossible without the steadfast support of the following businesses for displaying our ornaments on their trees: Sullivan's, President's Federal Credit Union, Curves, Cincinnati Federal Savings, Brossart Pharmacy, and the Oak Leaf Restaurant.

We thank the Miami Heights Community Center for offering their building for meeting space, storage and the distribution of gifts, and the American Legion for their storage space.

Mostly, we could not fulfill our community's needs without you, our generous friends. Volunteers, you renew our faith every year by your unconditional devotion to this venture. You are the heart and soul of this project. Thank you!

As a reminder, the members of our community are still in need. Monetary donations may be made throughout the year to the Three Rivers Community Giving Tree and sent to 514 Aston View Lane, Cleves, Ohio, 45002.

The Three Rivers Community Giving Tree Committee
